The British National Corpus (or just BNC) is a 100-million-word collection of samples of written and spoken English from a wide range of sources. It was compiled as a general corpus (text collection) in the field of corpus linguistics. The corpus covers British English of the late twentieth century from a wide variety of genres with the intention that it be a representative sample of spoken and written British English of that time.
